2nd & PCH is a 220,000 SF coastal retail destination that reflects AO’s commitment to thoughtful urban design. Positioned at a key intersection in Long Beach, the project transforms the former SeaPort Marina Hotel site into a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented environment. The open-air layout promotes walkability and connection through activated frontages, layered outdoor spaces, and seamless links to surrounding neighborhoods. A curated mix of retail, dining, and public gathering areas, including terraces, paseos, and greenspaces, fosters community engagement and leisure. Architecture inspired by local coastal character is paired with urban infrastructure improvements that enhance circulation and access. 2nd & PCH sets a new standard for lifestyle-driven development that is both contextually grounded and forward-looking.
